But they plan to make money from selling the stocks, not from actual dividends.
Every 401k or other investment place I've seen allows either taking dividends or reinvesting them. I've never one seen a fund that picks only divide free or divided providing stocks as a choice.
And every big fund also provides all sorts of general index funds, which certainly contain both. And individual stocks themselves decide to pay dividends or not, and routinely change so.
I don't think your distinction is at all a relevant factor in these funds to nearly any end buyer.
